The policy also states it will complement preventive measure practices that already are operational in Town of Fort Frances facilities and programs, including (but not limited to) practices around helmet use during hockey, shinny, skateboarding (skate park), and public skating.

Council is expected to endorse the policy at its regular meeting this evening, which will come into effect immediately, as well as endorse an agreement with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport for funding through the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund.

Tonight's meeting will follow the committee of the whole meeting, which gets underway at 5:30 p.m. but will begin with an in-camera discussion of one item (a labour matter).
